  • Autotrace batch?

    Posted by John Knapich on August 25, 2010 at 1:02 pm

    I need to autotrace a bunch of layers. Is there anyway to set up a batch for overnight? I can only select it for the current layer and it quits when I click off of the layer or to the finder.
    thanks

    Hi John,

    Like Dave said, I can’t see this being the best way to do something but a possible work around would be to place all the layers you need to autotrace sequentially > Precompose and then autotrace that one layer.
    Tomorrow morning you can just split the results into separate layers.

    Hope this helps.

    thanks guys. I thought the only way to go was to precompose.
    I am trying to do tight “junk” mattes for a bunch of green screen scenes, so I am starting with a keyed scene.
